The Best Adhesive Bras
When we want to rock that one head-turning gown, getting it to fit our bodies is a whole other ball game. "Backless", "strapless", and all the other "-less" words that describe these wonderful formal items become real problems when we are facing the bulky contents of our bra drawer. Enter the adhesive bra - a miracle intimate item that promises to hold your ladies back, up, and, most importantly, in, letting your hands focus on shrugging away all the compliments you'll be receiving rather than slyly adjusting yourself all evening. Here, we've done the research and selected the best backless bras for all occasions and bodies.
Niidor Invisible Silicone Bra
Comfortable, invisible everyday support
This backless bra is seriously sticky. And while it boasts a strong, skin-friendly silicone adhesive, the Niidor Invisible Silicone Bra also holds a reputation of being an extremely pleasant bra for everyday wear. Holding up even in humid weather across multiple days of use, this bra offers a seamless and comfortable support experience for all kinds of outfits. You even get two free nipple petals included with your purchase.
Pros:
- Comfortable material
- Simple application
- Long-lasting adhesive
- Easy cleaning process
Cons:
- Doesn’t provide as much push-up lift as other brands
MITALOO Self Adhesive Plunge Bra
Sticky, strong, and reusable
With a silicone interior and a fabric exterior, this backless bra offers more protection and support for your ladies for those evenings out, all while avoiding the conical look that some sticky bras may achieve. The MITALOO’s Self Adhesive Plunge Bra’s machine washable quality (although air drying is recommended) also makes it a great option for those women looking to use their invisibility brassiere over and over again. But while this bra remains sticky throughout the day, be careful of sweating too much. Too much sweaty dancing can loosen the adhesive, but it will hold up through the vast majority of uses.
Pros:
- Sticky after many uses
- Super easy to wash
- Larger cup sizes with more coverage
- Avoids the “cone breast” look of other backless bras
Cons:
- The bra doesn’t come with its own storage container so plan ahead before washing it
Unmooie Invisible Lift-up Bra
Cleavage for every occasion
If you’ve ever had a fantasy of being a proper Victorian lady, pulling closed your bosom laces to get that proper perky lift, then this is the bra for you. With a breathable bio-gel adhesive under a cotton exterior, the Unmooie Invisible Lift-up Bra is lightweight and super comfortable, offering great push-up action even despite sweaty circumstances. But while customers rave about the comfort of the Unmooie bra, smaller breasted women may get more push-up benefits than their larger chested counterparts.
Pros:
- Strong waterproof adhesive for all-day use
- Fully adjustable for any level of lift
- Great cost value – comes with 2 pairs (beige/black)
Cons:
- The great push-up quality of this bra works better for smaller breasts
Niidor Breathable Sticky Bra
Support for every shape and size
Adhesive bras seem like the perfect solution to life’s strapless and backless problems. However, women with bigger breasts are often left behind when it comes to fit and support. Fortunately, the Niidor Breathable Sticky Bra ensures that women of all shapes and sizes can have their head-turning entrance moment. Accommodating cup sizes A – F, these sticky bras keep a strong hold in even the hottest of situations, and the breathable perforated exterior of this bra makes sweat-induced slippage a thing of the past. This product also comes with two free silicone nipple covers.
Pros:
- Breathable hole design for anti-sweat resistance
- Extremely low-plunging cut for all kinds of necklines
- The adhesive is strong and long-lasting
- Suitable for larger breasts
Cons:
- Doesn’t lay as smoothly over tight fabric
- Sizes can run slightly small

What color is nude?

With hypoallergenic material that is compatible even with hypersensitive skin, this silicone bra also features an eco-friendly adhesive that won’t make you feel bad for throwing it away after its advertised 30 uses. Endorsed and used by celebrities and fashion experts around the world, this bra is a steal of a deal at its current price point.
Pros:
- High-quality silicone material
- Comes with a storage case and 4 protective liners to facilitate longer life
- Eco-friendly adhesive
- IPX8 sweat and waterproof rating

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some general tips for wearing this kind of bra?
As we mentioned, adhesive bras are perfect for using with strapless dresses and tank tops that require a bit of comfortable support for fluid movement moments. But since they rely on adhesive, there are some general rules for prepping the application that can make the whole experience way more enjoyable.
First, we recommend showering and exfoliating your skin to ensure that there won’t be any added sweat or oil to lubricate the adhesive. For this reason, don’t use any lotion before application. Next, follow the instructions of the particular bra that you buy to get it placed properly on your chest. Lastly, they should be worn under a dress or shirt that already fits you quite well.
Also, remember that sweat and lots of excess movement can loosen the sticky connection, so backless bras are best worn in situations that won’t require you to be moving too much in a very humid area (e.g. don’t wear them to the gym).
A lot of these bras claim to be reusable, but if they rely on adhesive, surely they won’t last that long. How can I get the most usage out of my backless bra?
We hear you on this one. The adhesive does degrade over time, but most backless bras, including all the options on our list, come with extensive care instructions. A few of our recommended bras even come with their own protective cases or long-term use liners to ensure that the bras stay sticky for many events to come.
Some bras may even have a fabric lining and sturdy front clasps, allowing you to wash them in a washing machine. If you machine-wash them, we recommend placing them in a closed garment bad. Other options that are made of pure silicone tend to be more delicate and require hand-washed care. A general rule is to use warm laundry soap and water and always let them air dry. If the bra comes with added materials to ensure long-term stickiness, then apply those after the bras are fully dried, and voila, you can look stunning and effortless in your strapless top come next weekend.
